This is my first post on here. I was searching some of the old threads and saw this one. Great project. :D Are the plans in the magazine? If so, I'll have to see if my library has a copy or get a back order issue.

Yes, they have construction details in the magazine - (Issue 180) There are lot of drawings with dimensions shown, but no plans that you could lay out on a bench. As always, the discussion and details in Woodsmith articles are easy to follow even if you have to read parts over several times.

It's a nifty piece of furniture, had guests yesterday and the two trays came in very handy!

Best wishes nomoman!:) Welcome to the forum!

Thanks charlese. My friend navycop was right. Ask and you shall recieve. But I thought drawings and plans were the samething?

Well, they are, kinda! The drawings I am referring to are more like Pictures drawn by an artist. They do show dimensions, but are not the kind of plan you can unfold and lay out on a table, or pin up on a wall.

Had a bit of a delay with a set of issues concerning the top of the cabinet. I'll explain in the next post, but here are photos of the finished piece. The lower two drawers contain trays, the other three are just drawers.

What an outstanding piece of work Chuck. I must have viewed the post of the final project a dozen times in admiration since I've joined this forum. You have got to feel very proud of yourself. A true work or art and an inspiration to all. Outstanding finish also.
